"that will never be me," a failsafe slogan ringing in my head. I was young and naive and deaf to every word they said. Filled with the confidence of youth I was convinced I would amount to something more than dead weight, swinging at the end of my own little rope. It was me against the world. I was sure I'd win. Callow and caught in the rapture of idealism. Filled with the arrogance of youth I was convinced I would amount to something more than dead weight, swinging at the end of my own little rope. I wanted to change the world so badly I actually thought i could. Well, this world won't just roll over and die. But I didn't want to listen when they said "son, the way things is the way it is, don't expect convention to give a single inch. You will have to scratch an claw just to make the slightest mark, let alone a change." I only wanted to make a change. I still want to make a change.
